wanna try a different chess game?

same pieces. same movements. same rules. different board.

mini chess (pdf) 6 x 4 with (a lot) fewer pieces.

longboard single line chess (pdf) 10 x 4 with fewer pawns.

longboard double line chess (pdf) 12 x 4 with all pieces.

print out or create your own board!

chess with d8 dice.

for the first 20 turns.

• roll twice to select a piece to move, first roll determines a-f, second 1-8.
• should player not have a piece at given location, the turn is over.
• should player have a piece at selected, roll dice twice and move piece to new square. (ordinary moving patterns does not apply.)
  • if there is a piece from the opponent, that piece is removed from the game.
  • if there is a piece of your own, roll dices twice again to move the other piece to a new location.
  • if a player hit the other players king, the game is over and the player who sleighed the king wins.
• after 20 turns, let the game continue with the pieces that are left and play with ordinary rules and moves.

enjoy!
